All,
The newsgroups (actually digitalmars.com) has moved to a new server with
much more processor power Dual Opteron 2.0 Ghz, with 8 times as much RAM
and about 8 times as much disk space). Overall this should result in an
8*+ or so improvement.
Unfortunately there were some issue's getting all the news articles
moved over. It should be fine now and posting should work again as well.
However, the articles might all show as un-read when you reconnect to
news.digitalmars.com. (They did for me in Thunderbird
www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/). I am not sure that there is anything I
could do to prevent this at this moment.
Let me know if there are any problems.
Thanks!
Jan

I can't seem to access archived messages through Thunderbird. New
messages are showing up fine. The web archive doesn't seem to be
working, either.

Yeah... that's because there as some issue's running the 32 bits
executable on a 64 bits operating system.
Trying to figure those out...
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Undefined symbol "cerr" referenced from COPY
relocation in <executable>
It has to do with the <executable> being linked against the dynamic
libraries... If it would be static this would not be a problem.
However... I do not have the sources... <sigh>

Since "500 Internal Server Error" could be showing up for a long time,
perhaps the URLs that start with
"http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews" should redirect to a simple
page mentioning that the problem is being worked on, but in the meantime
people will need to use an actual newsreader and offer a link to
http://www.digitalmars.com/NewsGroup.html.
(I don't really know how the how the web interface works. But I suppose
if running it on a 32-bit machine were an option, you would've already
done that.)
For those that are truly desperate for news about D but lack newsgroup
access, recent D-related posts can be viewed from
http://lists.puremagic.com/mailman/listinfo.

Working on a replacement of that system. There are several web based
systems out there. It just a matter of finding one that fits. The
newsguy stuff was great and it was free.
Thanks!

Weird, I use Thunderbird... everything was marked somewhat weird but now
everything is fine, I have old posts, I have what I've read previously, etc.
Odd.

Thanks for the move. Now everything works great in Outlook Express. For the
first time in years instead of thousands of unread messages, I am seeing
1-10, which is the correct number.

No thank you! with the transfer you've managed to squash that article
numbering bug that left an unread article count even after all articles had
been read in the groups, finally it tells the truth. None of the problem you
mention with thunderbird are experienced in OE 5.5SP2... was nice to watch
the unread count drop to zero just by selecting the newsgroup on the
in-active newsgroups for a change:-)

The problems in Thunderbird (if any) are because I hit the server in
between (before I fixed that numbering problem) I think.
It can be easily solved by stopping Thunderbird, removing the files from
disk and restarting Thunderbird and downloading the articles again. NP
to do that with Thunderbird.
